I created a sample of a few beside each other. Original size of each is 400 x 400. If you guys are interested in this look for the categories I can create it for all of them. Let me know.

This is awesome news thank you so much!

@cuppednoodle

i would not say "no" if you supply a new set of category images...

one thing: could you also supply a .psd file? so i can create new ones with the same style myself...

Ok here are the PNGs and the PSDs to download:

@cuppednoodle I'm not certain the Bear and Twinks image directly relate to the categories they represent?

For some categories I would prefer illustrations than photographs as it's easier to understand universally, eg. a generic book illustration rather than a GT cover since it's not a globally accessible publication. Same idea with images for TV/Episodes and Themed Movies. Using these, we're assuming everyone who accesses the site worldwide intuitively knows what the publication/show is. In addition to the site not having multi-language functionality for these icons, having as universally understood images would be simplest to assist as many users as possible who do not read/speak English fluently.

Hey, those were some of the trickier categories IMO. I just went with what I thought might work for those but wasn't too fussed about them since they seem more like novelty categories anyways haha. I have posted my working files here so if the powers that be deem any unfit they should be able to swap the images easily. Thanks for the feedback though!

@cuppednoodle Wasn't sure how to edit my post sorry for multi posting. I updated all except Youngblood. Wasn't sure what else might work more I looked at some of the videos in that category and it seemed to align. Anyways thanks for the feedback I agreed with your points so figured I'd adjust the icons.

@macburn Thanks I appreciate it!

@flozen Thanks I appreciate the feedback! I wouldn't mind updating some of these the ones you pointed out I definitely agree with.

Would you be open to suggestions / concepts tor the others? Even if they get rejected might be fine just making them haha.

No hate here- just honest criticism. The category icons all basically look the same and the name is very hard to distinguish from the image.thhe also seem very badly compressed.

I will volunteer to create alternatives and if they are well recieved maybe we can switch them out?
